Has to do with the interest rate some of the assets accrue before they are divvied up in the reorg. The holders of certain securities would only get the Federal rate instead of some other prevailing rate if these guys were proven to be messing around trading stuff on inside info. They will lose the interest on their (already) fraudulant gains. At any rate, about $600M would trickle down to the preferreds (who now share with TPS). Sooooo at the end of the day this alone would be worth about an additional 10% recovery to all preferred classes across the board. This would make WAMPQ worth about $100, WAMKQ about $2.50, and would add theoretically about 30 cents/share to WAMUQ assuming the preferreds/TS were already paid in full and the commons receive all the benefit of the $600 mil. Anyway thats how I understand it.

Yep, good question.
All our expectations are reduced from hearing to hearing and now we "end-up" being busy with the question whether the hedgies did their job like always, with insider informations, or not.

Something is wrong. We should be behind JPMC & FDIC instead of doing a job which is usually in the hands of the SEC.

Insider trading IS about valuation...If insider trading is found it will (at he very least) change the coupon vs fed rate. This does two things. The rate change alone changes the whole game.

First it puts equity in the money and second in causes a whole new EVALUATION issue because this would effect everything in the POR top to bottom. POR would be useless imo...
